JOURNAL-BEARNG.

Application led April 1911. Serial No. 618.8%.

To u?? ic/iom it may concern.'

-Ile it known that l, wWALDO E. CALLANE, a citizen ot' the Viiited States otAmerica, residingv at Lebanon, in the county ot' Boone and State of indiana, have invented certain new and use't'ul Improvements in Journal- BearingsE of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to journal bearings and is designed with especial reference for high speed machines to the end that there may be the minimum amount of vibration to the shaft; and wherein the proper alinenient and cushioning tension can be maintained without interfering with the transmission.

The invention further proposes an ar rangement wherein the shaft bearing meinber through its own construe-tion and manner of mounting will tend to set true with respect to the supported Shaft.

The invention is shown by Way of illustration in the accompanying drawings wherein- Fignre l is a vertical sectional View thereot'. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional View of Fig. l taken on the line 2-2, and; Fig. 3 is a detailed perspective View of the bearing block.

Referring to the structure in further detail and with like reference characters indi? eating corresponding parts in the different figures shown A designates a` suitable casing or cup which may be separate or forming part ot' the machine casing proper.v Mounted within the casing A is "a bearing block ot' substantially conical striicture, whiclris provided at its base with,tlieifiinular portion or flange Il the bottom surface of which is adapted to contact with the base A of the casing and thus provide a circumferential bearintgY for said block. (ln the opposite end the block has t'orined thereon and disposed axially thereof an integral collar B2. At its basithe bearing' portion B is of substantia'llythe saine diameter that of the casing A, thus ccnterin the shaft C within said casing" and which projects therethrough at.

the opening C.

Surroundingl the cone bearing B and between the base Hanne l5' and the inner edge ot' the collar B2 is a packing D of any snitable material adapted to cushion the bearing block B in the casiireY and also to arrest side strain and prevent shock or vibration to the shaft C. Uverlying the exposed face of the packing; l) is a collar or nut E screw threaded, as at F, i

within the casing A. Through the medium of the collar E the density of the packing D may be varied to tix the cone nearing B at its proper rigidity. and also to set the shaft C in correct alinement.

Vilhat is claimed as new is:

The combination with a shaft` ot a bear ing therefor comprising a cylindrical casing having` an inwardly disposed annular base at one end and openat the other end there of, said open end provided with internal screw threads; an apertured conical block located wholly within said casing, said block having its base in contact with said annular base and provided with an annular and radially projecting flange having' its periphery disposed against.r the inner surface of said casing; said conical block having an integral and axially disposed collar at the apex thereof; a packingr surrounding said block and contiiied between the inner edge of said collar and said base flange; and a colla' apertured to receive the cone collar having' screw threaded engagement with said casinpV and adapted to compress said packing, substantially as described.
